Meet the Mates

Mate
CEO and Mascot

“I think my strongest skill is loyalty. I am always checking on my humans, making sure they are happy. There is nothing that makes my tail wag more than a satisfied customer.”

Mate was born and raised in Miami, Florida. He received his "master's" in communications, with a minor in psychology. He is an excellent human trainer. His new goal is to build Parish Mate, helping more Churches reach their parishioners with care, consideration and compassion.

Each day, he makes his rounds, tracking and chasing down robots.“Human beings are much more interesting and cuddlier than electronic technology,” shares Mate. “Although I do check out the internet world hour by hour for new trends and information, I need human interaction as most creatures do.”

In his spare time, Mate loves to read biographies and get neck rubs. He wishes every day was Thanksgiving because he loves sweet potatoes and pumpkin pie, and he loves to give thanks for all good things.

Claudio Croce
since 2002
Assistant to the CEO

“While some graphic designers see their websites as their final product, I see my websites as a tool through which I will achieve my final product: connecting people and the things they love... in essence, building long-term relationships.”

Web site design and connections to audiences are written all over Claudio’s DNA. Born in Sao Paulo, Brazil as a descendent of a wave of Italian immigrants, he completed his bachelor’s degree in Business Administration. As Brazil was opening its doors to foreign investors, Claudio worked for a software company that implemented corporate management systems. He came to Miami in 2000, establishing their international office. At that time, the power of the web was unfolding in front of his eyes, and he quickly realized that web design was going to play a critical role. That’s when Atimo was born, the parent company of Parish Mate.

After many years working with parishes and associated schools, Claudio created ParishMate. “It’s exactly what the name implies: A friend of the parish,” explains Claudio. “One that will be there for you, helping the parish achieve its highest potential. A friend who knows your name, your preferences, expectations, tastes, and limitations, worries and concerns. We share with our friends our team’s talents in graphic design, programming and communications, while they focus their time and resources on what they do best.”

When Claudio is not working, he can be found walking his dog Dexter, reading historical books, listening to Baroque music and, indulging in good pizza, pasta, cheese and wine, with an occasional ice cream cone sneaking in.

Renato Graziola
since 2002
Programming

As the head of the programming team I like to explain my work with the following anecdote:

“The captain of a large ship recruited an engineer ​for an emergency to look at the main engine. It was overheating and making strange noises. After checking the gears and listening to the ​moving parts, the engineer tightened a few bolts, and the engine was back to normal. The entire inspection and job took less than half an hour. The captain was unhappy with the bill received since the engineer did not spend that much time to resolve the problem.”

The engineer explained that tightening the bolt indeed took him little time, but knowing which bolt to tight​en took him ​an expensive college degree and many years of experience in the field. It's having an intimate knowledge of the technology.
